Sunan Ibn Majah — Trials and Tribulations

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:“The Beast will emerge and will have with it the seal of Sulaiman bin Dawud and the staff of Musa bin ‘Imran (as). It will make the faces of the believers shine with the staff, and will mark the noses of the disbelievers with the seal, until the inhabitants of a cluster of houses will gather together; then one will say ‘O believer!’ And to another ‘O disbeliever.’”

حدثنا ابو بكر بن ابي شيبة، حدثنا يونس بن محمد، حدثنا حماد بن سلمة، عن علي بن زيد، عن اوس بن خالد، عن ابي هريرة، ان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال " تخرج الدابة ومعها خاتم سليمان بن داود وعصا موسى بن عمران عليهما السلام فتجلو وجه المومن بالعصا و تخطم انف الكافر بالخاتم حتى ان اهل الحواء ليجتمعون فيقول هذا يا مومن ويقول هذا يا كافر " . قال ابو الحسن القطان حدثناه ابراهيم بن يحيى، حدثنا موسى بن اسماعيل، حدثنا حماد بن سلمة، فذكر نحوه وقال فيه مرة فيقول هذا يا مومن . وهذا يا كافر

‘Abdullah bin Buraidah narrated that his father said:“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) took me to a place in the desert, near Makkah, where there was arid land surrounded by sand. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘The Beast will emerge from this spot – span by a span. (i.e, the size of that spot).’”

حدثنا ابو غسان، محمد بن عمرو زنيج حدثنا ابو تميلة، حدثنا خالد بن عبيد، حدثنا عبد الله بن بريدة، عن ابيه، قال ذهب بي رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم الى موضع بالبادية قريب من مكة فاذا ارض يابسة حولها رمل فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم " تخرج الدابة من هذا الموضع " . فاذا فتر في شبر . قال ابن بريدة فحججت بعد ذلك بسنين فارانا عصا له فاذا هو بعصاى هذه كذا وكذا

It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said:“I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: ‘The Hour will not begin until the sun rises from the west (i.e. the place of its setting). When it rises, the people will see it, and everyone on (earth) will believe, but that will be at a time when faith will not benefit anyone who did not believe before.’”

حدثنا ابو بكر بن ابي شيبة، حدثنا محمد بن فضيل، عن عمارة بن القعقاع، عن ابي زرعة، عن ابي هريرة، قال سمعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول " لا تقوم الساعة حتى تطلع الشمس من مغربها فاذا طلعت وراها الناس امن من عليها فذلك حين لا ينفع نفسا ايمانها لم تكن امنت من قبل

It was narrated from ‘Abdullah bin ‘Amr that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:“The first signs to appear will be at the rising of the sun from the west and the emergence of the Beast to the people, at forenoon.’” 'Abdullah said: "Whichever of them appears first, the other will come soon after." 'Abdullah said: "I do not think it will be anything other than the sun rising from the west

حدثنا علي بن محمد، حدثنا وكيع، حدثنا سفيان، عن ابي حيان التيمي، عن ابي زرعة بن عمرو بن جرير، عن عبد الله بن عمرو، قال قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم " اول الايات خروجا طلوع الشمس من مغربها وخروج الدابة على الناس ضحى " . قال عبد الله فايتهما ما خرجت قبل الاخرى فالاخرى منها قريب . قال عبد الله ولا اظنها الا طلوع الشمس من مغربها

It was narrated from Safwan bin ‘Assal that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:“Towards the west (i.e., the place of the setting of the sun) there is an open door, seventy years wide. That door will remain open for repentance until the sun rises from this direction. When it rises from this direction, faith will not benefit any soul that did not believe before or earn anything good through its faith.”

حدثنا ابو بكر بن ابي شيبة، حدثنا عبيد الله بن موسى، عن اسراييل، عن عاصم، عن زر، عن صفوان بن عسال، قال قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم " ان من قبل مغرب الشمس بابا مفتوحا عرضه سبعون سنة فلا يزال ذلك الباب مفتوحا للتوبة حتى تطلع الشمس من نحوه فاذا طلعت من نحوه لم ينفع نفسا ايمانها لم تكن امنت من قبل او كسبت في ايمانها خيرا

It was narrated that Hudhaifah said:"The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: 'The Dajjal (False Christ) is blind in his left eye and has abundant hair. With him will be a Paradise and a Hell, but his Hell is Paradise and his Paradise is Hell

حدثنا محمد بن عبد الله بن نمير، وعلي بن محمد، قالا حدثنا ابو معاوية، حدثنا الاعمش، عن شقيق، عن حذيفة، قال قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم " الدجال اعور عين اليسرى جفال الشعر معه جنة ونار فناره جنة وجنته نار

It was narrated that Abu Bakr Siddiq said:"The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) told us: 'Dajjal will emerge in a land in the east called Khorasan, and will be followed by people with faces like hammered shields

حدثنا نصر بن علي الجهضمي، ومحمد بن بشار، ومحمد بن المثنى، قالوا حدثنا روح بن عبادة، حدثنا سعيد بن ابي عروبة، عن ابي التياح، عن المغيرة بن سبيع، عن عمرو بن حريث، عن ابي بكر الصديق، قال حدثنا رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم " ان الدجال يخرج من ارض بالمشرق يقال لها خراسان يتبعه اقوام كان وجوههم المجان المطرقة

It was narrated that Mughirah bin Shu'bah said:"No one asked the Prophet (ﷺ) about Dajjal more than I did." (One of the narrators) Ibn Numair said (in his version): "(No one asked) more difficult questions than I did." - "He said to me: 'What are you asking about him?' I said: 'They say he will have food and drink with him.' He said: 'He is too insignificant before Allah for that

حدثنا محمد بن عبد الله بن نمير، وعلي بن محمد، قالا حدثنا وكيع، حدثنا اسماعيل بن ابي خالد، عن قيس بن ابي حازم، عن المغيرة بن شعبة، قال ما سال احد النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم عن الدجال اكثر مما سالته - وقال ابن نمير اشد سوالا مني - فقال لي " ما تسال عنه " . قلت انهم يقولون ان معه الطعام والشراب قال " هو اهون على الله من ذلك

It was narrated that Fatimah bint Qais said:"The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) prayed one day, and ascended the pulpit, and he never used to ascend it, before that, except on Fridays. The people were alarmed by that, and some were standing and some were sitting. He gestured to them with his hand, telling them to sit. (Then he said:) 'By Allah, I am not standing here for something that will benefit you, an exhortation or warning. Rather Tamim Dari has come to me and told me something that prevented me from taking a rest because of the joy and delight (I felt), and I wanted to spread that joy among you. A cousin of Tamim Dari told me that the wind drove them to an island that they did not know, so they sat in the rowing boats of the ship and set out. There they saw something black, with long eyelashes. They said to it: "What are you?" It said: "I am Jassasah," They said: "Tell us." It said: "I will not tell you anything or ask you anything. Rather there is this monastery that you have looked at. Go to it, for there is a man there who is longing to hear your news and tell you news." So they went there and entered upon him, and they saw an old man firmly shackled, with a sorrowful appearance and complaining a great deal. He said to them: "Where have you come from?" They said: "From Sham." He said: "How are the Arabs faring?" They said: "We are from among the Arabs. What do you want to ask about?" He said: "What has this man done who has appeared among you?" They said: "(He has done) well. He made enemies of some people, but Allah supported him against them and now they have become one, with one God and one religion." He said: "What happened to the spring of Zughar?" They said: "It is good; we irrigate out crops from it and drink from it." He said: "What happened to the date-palms between 'Amman and Baisan?" They said: "They bear fruit every year." He said: "What happened to the Lake of Tiberias?" They said: "It overflows because of the abundance of water." He gave three deep sighs, then he said: "If I were to free myself from these chains, I would not leave any land without entering it on these two feet of mine, except for Taibah, for I have no way to enter it." The Prophet (ﷺ) said: 'My joy is so great. This (Al-Madinah) is Taibah, and by the One in Whose Hand is my soul, there is no narrow or broad road in it, or any plain or mountain, but there is an angel (standing) over it with his sword unsheathed, until the Day of Resurrection

Nawwas bin Sam'an Al-Kilabi said:"The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) mentioned Dajjal, one morning, as something despised but also alarming, until we thought that he was in the stand of date-palm trees. When we came to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) in the evening, he saw that (fear) in us, and said: 'What is the matter with you?' We said: 'O Messenger of Allah, you mentioned Dajjal this morning, and you spoke of him as something despised but also alarming, until we thought that he was in the stand of date-palm trees.' He said: 'There are things that I fear more for you than the Dajjal. If he appears while I am among you, I will contend with him on your behalf, and if he appears when I am not among you, then each man must fend for himself, and Allah will take care of every Muslim on my behalf. He (Dajjal) will be a young man with curly hair and a protuberant eye; I liken him to 'Abdul-'Uzza bin Qatan. Whoever among you sees him, let him recite the first Verses of Surat Al-Kahf over him. He will emerge from Khallah, between Sham and Iraq, and will wreak havoc right and left. O slaves of Allah, remain steadfast.' We said: 'O Messenger of Allah, how long will he stay on earth?' He said: 'Forty days, one day like a year, one day like a month, one day like a week, and the rest of his days like your days.' We said: 'O Messenger of Allah, on that day which is like a year, will the prayers of one day suffice us?' He said: 'Make an estimate of time (and then observe prayer).' We said: 'How fast will he move through the earth?' He said: 'Like a rain cloud driving by the wind.' He said: 'He will come to some people and call them, and they will respond and believe in him. Then he will command the sky to rain and it will rain, and he will command the earth to produce vegetation and it will do so, and their flocks will come back in the evening with their humps taller, their udders fuller and their flanks fatter than they have ever been. Then he will come to some (other) people and call them, and they will reject him, so he will turn away from them and they will suffer drought and be left with nothing. Then he will pass through the wasteland and will say: "Bring forth your treasures," then go away, and its treasures will follow him like a swarm of bees. Then he will call a man brimming with youth and will strike him with a sword and cut him in two. He will put the two pieces as far apart as the distance between an archer and his target. Then he will call him and he will come with his face shining, laughing. While they are like that, Allah will send 'Eisa bin Maryam, who will come down at the white minaret in the east of Damascus, wearing two Mahrud[garment dyed with Wars and then Saffron], resting his hands on the wings of two angels. When he lowers his head, beads of perspiration will fall from it. Every disbeliever who smells the fragrance of his breath will die, and his breath will reach as far as his eye can see. Then he will set out and catch up with him (the Dajjal) at the gate of Ludd, and will kill him. Then the Prophet of Allah 'Eisa will come to some people whom Allah has protected, and he will wipe their faces and tell them of their status in Paradise. While they are like that, Allah will reveal to him: "O 'Eisa, I have brought forth some of My slaves whom no one will be able to kill, so take My slaves to Tur in safety." Then Gog and Magog will emerge and they will, as Allah describes, "swoop down from every mound."[21:96] The first of them will pass by lake Tiberias and drink from it, then the last of them will pass by it and will say: "There was water here once." The Prophet of Allah, 'Eisa and his companions will be besieged there until the head of an ox would be dearer to any one of them than one hundred Dinar are to any one of you today. Then, the Prophet of Allah, 'Eisa and his companions will supplicate Allah. Then Allah will send a worm in their necks and the next morning they will all die as one. The Prophet of Allah 'Eisa and his companions will come down and they will not find even the space of a hand span that is free of their stink, stench and blood. They will pray to Allah, and He will send birds with necks like the necks of Bactrian camels, which will pick them up and throw them wherever Allah wills. Then Allah will send rain which will not leave any house of clay or hair, and it will wash the earth until it leaves it like a mirror (or a smooth rock). Then it will be said to the earth: "Bring forth your fruits and bring back your blessing." On that day a group of people will eat from a (single) pomegranate and it will suffice them, and they will seek shelter beneath its skin. Allah will bless a milch- camel so that it will be sufficient for a large number of people, and a milch-cow will be sufficient for a whole tribe and a milch-ewe will be sufficient for a whole clan. While they are like that, Allah will send a pleasant wind which will seize them beneath their armpits and will take the soul of every Muslim, leaving the rest of the people fornicating like donkeys, and upon them will come the Hour

It was narrated from Nawwas bin Sam'an that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:"The Muslims will use the bows, arrows and shields of Gog and Magog as firewood, for seven years

حدثنا هشام بن عمار، حدثنا يحيى بن حمزة، حدثنا ابن جابر، عن يحيى بن جابر الطايي، حدثني عبد الرحمن بن جبير بن نفير، عن ابيه، انه سمع النواس بن سمعان، يقول قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم " سيوقد المسلمون من قسي ياجوج وماجوج ونشابهم واترستهم سبع سنين

It was narrated that Abu Umamah Al-Bahili said:"The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) addressed us, and most of his speech had to do with telling us about Dajjal. He warned about him, and among the things he said was: 'There will not be any tribulation on earth, since the time Allah created the offspring of Adam, that will be greater than the tribulation of Dajjal. Allah has not sent any Prophet but he warned his nation about Dajjal. I am the last of the Prophets, and you are the last of the nations. He will undoubtedly appear among you. If he appears while I am among you, I will contend with him on behalf of every Muslim, and if he appears while I am not among you, then each man must fend for himself and Allah will take care of every Muslim on my behalf. He will emerge from Al-Khallah, between Sham and Iraq, and will wreak havoc right and left. O slaves of Allah, remain steadfast. I will describe him to you in a manner in which none of the Prophets has described him before me. He will start by saying "I am a Prophet," and there is no Prophet after me. Then a second time he will say: "I am your Lord." But you will not see your Lord until you die. He is one-eyed, and your Lord is not one-eyed, and written between his eyes is Kafir. Every believer will read it, whether he is literate or illiterate. Part of his Fitnah will be that he will have with him Paradise and Hell, but his Hell will be a Paradise and his Paradise a Hell. Whoever is tested with his fire (hell), let him seek the help of Allah and recite the first Verses of Al-Kahf, then it will be cool and safe for him, as the fire was for Ibrahim. Part of his Fitnah will be that he will say to a Bedouin: "What do you think, if I resurrect your father and mother for you, will you bear witness that I am your Lord?" He will say: "Yes." Then two devils will appear to him in the form of his father and mother and will say: "O my son, follow him, for he is your Lord." And part of his Fitnah will be that he will overpower a single soul and kill him, then he will cut him with a saw until he falls in two pieces. Then he will say: "Look at this slave of mine; I will resurrect him now, then he will claim that he has a Lord other than me." Then Allah will resurrect him and the evil one will say to him: "Who is your Lord?" and he will say: "Allah is my Lord, and you are the enemy of Allah, you are Dajjal. By Allah, I have never had more insight about you than I have today." (An addition) Abul-Hasan Tanafisi said: "Muharibi told us: 'Ubaidullah bin al-Walid Al-Wassafi told us, from 'Atiyyah, that Abu Sa'eed said: "The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: 'That man will be the highest in status in my nation in Paradise'" - He said: "Abu Sa'eed said: 'By Allah, we did not think that man would be anyone other than 'Umar bin Khattab, until he passed away. - Muharibi said: "Then we went back to the narration of Abu Rafi'." He said: - 'Part of his Fitnah will be that he will command the sky to rain, and it will rain, and he will command the earth to bring forth vegetation and it will do so. And part of his Fitnah will be that he will pass by a clan and they will disbelieve in him, so all their flocks will perish and none will be left. And part of his Fitnah will be that he will pass by a clan who will believe in him, so he will command the sky to rain, and it will rain, and he will command the earth to bring forth vegetation and it will do so, until their flocks will come back in the evening of that day, bigger and fatter than they have ever been, with their flanks stretched and their udders full of milk. There will be no part of the earth left that he does not enter and prevail over, except for Makkah and Al-Madinah, for he will not approach them on any of their mountain paths but he will be met by angels with unsheathed swords, until he will stop at the red hill at the end of the marsh. Then Al-Madinah will be shaken with its people three times, and no hypocrite, male or female, will be left, all will come out to him. Thus it will be cleansed of impurity just as the bellows cleanses the iron of dross. And that day will be called the Day of Deliverance.' "Umm Sharik bint Abi 'akar said: 'O Messenger of Allah, where will the Arabs be that day?' He said: 'On that day they will be few, and most of them will be in Baitul-Maqdis (Jerusalem), and their leader will be a righteous man. When their leader has stepped forward to lead them in subh prayer, 'Eisa bin Maryam will come down to them. Their leader will step backwards so that 'Eisa can come forward and lead the people in prayer, but 'Eisa will place his hand between his shoulders and say to him: "Go forward and pray, for the Iqamah was given for you." Then their leader will lead them in prayer. When he has finished, 'Eisa (as), will say: "Open the gate." So they will open it and behind it will be Dajjal with seventy thousand Jews, each of them carrying an adorned sword and wearing a greenish cloak. When Dajjal looks at him, he will start to melt as salt melts in water. He will run away, and 'Eisa (as), will say: "I have only one blow for you, which you will not be able to escape!" He will catch up with him at the eastern gate of Ludd, and will kill him. Then Allah will defeat the Jews, and there will be nothing left that Allah has created which the Jews will be able to hide behind, except that Allah will cause it to speak - no stone, no tree, no wall, no animal - except for Al-Gharqad (the box-thorn), for it is one of their trees, and will not speak - except that it will say: "O Muslim slave of Allah, here is a Jews, come and kill him!" "The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: 'His (Dajjal's) days will number forty years: a year like half a year, a year like a month, a month like a week, and the rest of his days will be like sparks from a fire (i.e., they will pass quickly). One of you will enter the gate of Al-Madinah in the morning and not reach its other gate until evening comes.' It was said: 'O Messenger of Allah, how should we pray on those short days?' He said: 'Estimate (the times of) the prayer, as you do on these long days, then pray.' The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Eisa bin Maryam (as), will be a just judge and a just ruler among my nation. He will break the cross, slaughter the pigs, abolish the Jizyah and charity will be left. No one will be appointed to (collect the Zakah of) sheep and camels. Grudges and mutual hatred will disappear and the venom of every venomous creature will be removed, so that a baby boy will but his hand in a snake and it will not harm him, and a baby girl will make a lion run away, and it will not harm her; and the wolf will be among the sheep like their sheepdog. The earth will be filled with peace just as a vessel is filled with water. The people will be united and none will be worshipped except Allah. War will cease and Quraish will no longer be in power. The earth will be like a silver platter, with its vegetation growing as it did at the time of Adam, until a group of people will gather around one bunch of grapes and it will suffice them, and a group will gather around a single pomegranate and it will suffice them. An ox will be sold for such and such amount of money, and a horse will be sold for a few Dirham.' They said: 'O Messenger of Allah, why will horses be so cheap?' He said: 'They will never be ridden in war again.' It was said to him: 'Why will oxen be so expensive?' He said: 'Because all the land will be tilled. Before Dajjal appears there will be three difficult years in which the people will suffer severe famine. In the first year, Allah will command the sky to withhold one third of its rain and the earth to withhold one third of its produce. In the second year, He will command the sky to withhold two thirds of its rain and the earth to withhold two-thirds of its produce. In the third year, he will command the sky to withhold all of its rain, and not a single drop will fall, and the earth to withhold all of its produce, and nothing will grow. All cloven-hoofed animals will die, except those that Allah wills.' It was said: 'What will the people live on at that time?' He said: 'Tahlil, Takbir, Tasbih and Tahmid. That will take the place of food for them.'" Abu 'Abdullah (Ibn Majah) said: "I heard Abul-Hasan Tanafisi say: 'I heard 'Abdur-Rahman Al-Muharibi say: "This Hadith should be sent to every teacher so that they can teach it to the children in the schools

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Prophet (ﷺ) said:"The Hour will not begin until 'Eisa bin Maryam comes down as a just judge and a just ruler. He will break the cross, kill the pigs and abolish the Jizyah, and wealth will become so abundant that no one will accept it

حدثنا ابو بكر بن ابي شيبة، حدثنا سفيان بن عيينة، عن الزهري، عن سعيد بن المسيب، عن ابي هريرة، عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال " لا تقوم الساعة حتى ينزل عيسى ابن مريم حكما مقسطا واماما عدلا فيكسر الصليب ويقتل الخنزير ويضع الجزية ويفيض المال حتى لا يقبله احد

It was narrated from Abu Sa'eed Al-Khudri that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:"Gog and Magog people will be set free and they will emerge as Allah says: "swoop(ing) down from every mound."[21:96] They will spread throughout the earth, and the Muslims will flee from them until the remainder of the Muslims are in their cities and fortresses, taking their flocks with them. They will pass by a river and drink from it, until they leave nothing behind, and the last of them will follow in their footsteps and one of them will say: 'There was once water in this place.' They will prevail over the earth, then their leader will say: 'These are the people of the earth, and we have finished them off. Now let us fight the people of heaven!' Then one of them will throw his spear towards the sky, and it will come back down smeared with blood. And they will say: 'We have killed the people of heaven.' While they are like that, Allah will send a worm like the worm that is found in the noses of sheep, which will penetrate their necks and they will die like locusts, one on top of another. In the morning the Muslims will not hear any sound from them, and they will say: 'Who will sell his soul for the sake of Allah and see what they are doing?' A man will go down, having prepared himself to be killed by them, and he will find them dead, so he will call out to them: 'Be of good cheer, for your enemy is dead!' Then the people will come out and let their flocks loose, but they will not have anything to graze on except their flesh, and they will become very fat as if they were grazing on the best vegetation they ever found

حدثنا ابو كريب، حدثنا يونس بن بكير، عن محمد بن اسحاق، حدثني عاصم بن عمر بن قتادة، عن محمود بن لبيد، عن ابي سعيد الخدري، ان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال " تفتح ياجوج وماجوج فيخرجون كما قال الله تعالى {وهم من كل حدب ينسلون} فيعمون الارض وينحاز منهم المسلمون حتى تصير بقية المسلمين في مداينهم وحصونهم ويضمون اليهم مواشيهم حتى انهم ليمرون بالنهر فيشربونه حتى ما يذرون فيه شييا فيمر اخرهم على اثرهم فيقول قايلهم لقد كان بهذا المكان مرة ماء ويظهرون على الارض فيقول قايلهم هولاء اهل الارض قد فرغنا منهم ولننازلن اهل السماء حتى ان احدهم ليهز حربته الى السماء فترجع مخضبة بالدم فيقولون قد قتلنا اهل السماء . فبينما هم كذلك اذ بعث الله دواب كنغف الجراد فتاخذ باعناقهم فيموتون موت الجراد يركب بعضهم بعضا فيصبح المسلمون لا يسمعون لهم حسا فيقولون من رجل يشري نفسه وينظر ما فعلوا فينزل منهم رجل قد وطن نفسه على ان يقتلوه فيجدهم موتى فيناديهم الا ابشروا فقد هلك عدوكم . فيخرج الناس ويخلون سبيل مواشيهم فما يكون لهم رعى الا لحومهم فتشكر عليها كاحسن ما شكرت من نبات اصابته قط

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:"Gog and Magog people dig every day until, when they can almost see the rays of the sun, the one in charge of them says: "Go back and we will dig it tomorrow." Then Allah puts it back, stronger than it was before. (This will continue) until, when their time has come, and Allah wants to send them against the people, they will dig until they can almost see the rays of the sun, then the one who is in charge of them will say: "Go back, and we will dig it tomorrow if Allah wills.' So they will say: "If Allah wills." Then they will come back to it and it will be as they left it. So they will dig and will come out to the people, and they will drink all the water. The people will fortify themselves against them in their fortresses. They will shoot their arrows towards the sky and they will come back with blood on them, and they will say: "We have defeated the people of earth and dominated the people of heaven." Then Allah will send a worm in the napes of their necks and will kill them thereby.'" The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "By the One in Whose Hand is my soul, the beasts of the earth will grow fat on their flesh

حدثنا ازهر بن مروان، حدثنا عبد الاعلى، حدثنا سعيد، عن قتادة، قال حدثنا ابو رافع، عن ابي هريرة، قال قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم " ان ياجوج وماجوج يحفرون كل يوم حتى اذا كادوا يرون شعاع الشمس قال الذي عليهم ارجعوا فسنحفره غدا . فيعيده الله اشد ما كان حتى اذا بلغت مدتهم واراد الله ان يبعثهم على الناس حفروا حتى اذا كادوا يرون شعاع الشمس قال الذي عليهم ارجعوا فستحفرونه غدا ان شاء الله تعالى واستثنوا فيعودون اليه وهو كهييته حين تركوه فيحفرونه ويخرجون على الناس فينشفون الماء ويتحصن الناس منهم في حصونهم فيرمون بسهامهم الى السماء فترجع عليها الدم الذي اجفظ فيقولون قهرنا اهل الارض وعلونا اهل السماء فيبعث الله نغفا في اقفايهم فيقتلهم بها " . قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم " والذي نفسي بيده ان دواب الارض لتسمن وتشكر شكرا من لحومهم

It was narrated that 'Abdullah bin Mas'ud said:"On the night on which the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was taken on the Night Journey (Isra'), he met Ibrahim, Musa and 'Eisa, and they discussed the Hour. They started with Ibrahim, and asked him about it, but he did not have any knowledge of it. Then they asked Musa, and he did not have any knowledge of it. Then they asked 'Eisa bin Maryam, and he said: 'I have been assigned to some tasks before it happens.' As for as when it will take place, no one knows that except Allah. Then he mentioned Dajjal and said: 'I will descend and kill him, then the people will return to their own lands and will be confronted with Gog and Magog people, who will: "swoop down from every mound."[21:96] They will not pass by any water but they will drink it, (and they will not pass) by anything but they will spoil it. They (the people) will beseech Allah, and I will pray to Allah to kill them. The earth will be filled with their stench and (the people) will beseech Allah and I will pray to Allah, then the sky will send down rain that will carry them and throw them in the sea. Then the mountains will turn to dust and the earth will be stretched out like a hide. I have been promised that when that happens, the Hour will come upon the people, like a pregnant woman whose family does not know when she will suddenly give birth.'" (One of the narrators) 'Awwam said: "Confirmation of that is found in the Book of Allah, where Allah says: "Until, when Gog and Magog people are let loose (from their barrier), and they swoop down from every mound (21:)

حدثنا محمد بن بشار، حدثنا يزيد بن هارون، حدثنا العوام بن حوشب، حدثني جبلة بن سحيم، عن موثر بن عفازة، عن عبد الله بن مسعود، قال لما كان ليلة اسري برسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم لقي ابراهيم وموسى وعيسى فتذاكروا الساعة فبدءوا بابراهيم فسالوه عنها فلم يكن عنده منها علم ثم سالوا موسى فلم يكن عنده منها علم فرد الحديث الى عيسى ابن مريم فقال قد عهد الى فيما دون وجبتها فاما وجبتها فلا يعلمها الا الله . فذكر خروج الدجال قال فانزل فاقتله فيرجع الناس الى بلادهم فيستقبلهم ياجوج وماجوج وهم من كل حدب ينسلون فلا يمرون بماء الا شربوه ولا بشىء الا افسدوه فيجارون الى الله فادعو الله ان يميتهم فتنتن الارض من ريحهم فيجارون الى الله فادعو الله فيرسل السماء بالماء فيحملهم فيلقيهم في البحر ثم تنسف الجبال وتمد الارض مد الاديم فعهد الى متى كان ذلك كانت الساعة من الناس كالحامل التي لا يدري اهلها متى تفجوهم بولادتها . قال العوام ووجد تصديق ذلك في كتاب الله تعالى {حتى اذا فتحت ياجوج وماجوج وهم من كل حدب ينسلون}

It was narrated that 'Abdullah said:"While we were with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), some youngsters from Banu Hashim came along. When the Prophet (ﷺ) saw them, his eyes filled with tears and his color changed. I said: 'We still see something in your face that we do not like (to see).' He said: 'We are members of a Household for whom Allah has chosen the Hereafter over this world. The people of my Household will face calamity, expulsion and exile after I am gone, until some people will come from the east carrying black banners. They will ask for something good but will not be given it. Then they will fight and will be victorious, then they will be given what they wanted, but they will not accept it and will give leadership to a man from my family.
